Rear is lower than front after lift install
I have a 2010 2 Dr and I installed a RC 2.5 lift with a 1.25 body lift and now the rear is about a 1.5" lower in rear. Is this normal or do I need to do/get something different. I have a jerry can holder and rack for the rear and I am afraid by the time I load gas, coolers, and gear it will really sag. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I had this on my 09 "X" 2-dr, and never had that happen. It leveled it out really nice, even with the aftermarket bumpers and winch. I put a 2.5 Teraflex on my 2011 Rubi Unlim and used a 1" spacer up front as well, and it has worked great as well. I wonder if you springs in the rear are not strong enough for the weight you have over the rear end.

I have heard while I have been researching typicaly the rear should be higher. Some kits come with 2" spacers in the front and 2.5" for the rear. Just do some home work on your kits specs. Hope you find your right answer.

Did you forget a coil spacer or coil rubber noise isolator? Or maybe the front springs are not in the groove of the lower spring perch? I am just throwing stuff out there maybe your kit was incomplete I am not sure about RC lifts but I believe some of the TF kits have coil spacers example a 3" lift is just a 2.5" coil kit's springs with a spacer for the rest. Let us know what you find.
I'm not tootin my horn but I have been a mechanic over 30yrs now so I hope it is installed correctly. I have contacted RC twice now and emailed photos and no response. The last time I got cut off. I think I may ask for a refund and go with teraflex lift. Will see what happens. Thanks for responses I appreciate it.
